“Salt of the Earth” (1954) -- More than a Blacklisted Film
[ send me this report ]
This
5 page report discusses the 1954 blacklisted movie that tells the
story of a strike among Hispanic mine workers at the Empire Zinc
Corporation in New Mexico. A Mexican American family finds
itself in the middle of the bitterness caused by the strike. As a
political statement, it demonstrated the inter-connection that
exists between working class, feminist, environmental and Latino
concerns, and yet it was denounced for its “communist overtones”
and banned from the public until the late 1960s. The movies
writers, producer, and director had all been blacklisted and the
star, the Mexican actress Rosaura Revueltas, was deported. No
additional sources.

A Position on Bluestone’s Essay “The Inequality Express”
[ send me this report ]
This is a 6 page position paper in regards to Barry Bluestone’s essay “The Inequality Express”. In his paper “The Inequality Express”, Barry Bluestone (1996) discusses aspects of the trends predicted by British sociologist Michael Young in his 1958 book “The Rise of Meritocracy, 1870-2033” in which an individual’s socioeconomic status would no longer be based on lineage or family connections but instead on the differences of education, intelligence, experience and effort by the year 2034. While Bluestone writes that he has not seen such a revolution yet within society he and other social economists believe that there are three clearly defined trends which are consistent: that the distribution of earnings (in the U.S. and the U.K.) reflect the distribution of formal education in the workforce; “the gap in earning between the well educated and the not-so-well educated is steadily increasing”; and, the standard of living for those who are less educated is declining. Despite these trends, Bluestone and his colleagues present possible solutions to the end of inequality; most of which seem unlikely in today’s global free market society.
